Bella is wrapping a cube-shaped gift box that measures 8.5 inches along each edge. How many square inches of wrapping paper is needed to cover the box completely without overlapping? A. 34 in.2 B. 72.25 in.2 C. 433.5 in.2 D. 614.125 in.2

433.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has 6 sides

Area of 1 side = 8.5 x 8.5 = 72.25 in²

Area of 6 sides = 72.25 x 6 = 433.5 in²

0,0

step-by-step explanation:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
